Massey Hall Preparatory School.

The closing exercises and exami-
nations for the academic year ending
June 18th, were held in the study
room on Tuesday and Wednesday of
this week. The Principal was assis-
ted in the preparation of papers by
E. HI. Sincell, Esq. and w. III.
Ravenscraft, M. d. The papers SUBJ
mitted show that the course of study
is somewhat advanced, and yet Just
such course as is needed to insure
true education. Pupils have shown
commendable zeal and interest, and
the result of the first years work
must be gratifying to the Principal
and his patrons. Examinations were
held for higher forms in Latin, Phys
ical Science, Physical Geography. and
higher Arithmetic, and for lower
forms in simple English branches.
The school requirement is higher
than we have been accustomed to in
this vicinity. No pupil is passed I'M
less his average in all studies is IS
per cent.

Sunny Side.
GRACE STUART.

During the past few days we have
been favored with the presence and
work in this vicinity of Rev. Geo.
H. Mock, of the Maryland Sunday
School Union. On Monday night
he addressed an audience at Red
House, and on Wednesday night at
Sunny side School House. The latter
audience was large, and the audience
at Red House was surprisingly large
considering the very inclement
weather, There is no doubt but that
Mr.. Mock has been the means of &C.
complishing much good in this COM
munity. There were many calls for
State Superintendent Baker, who has
also many friends here, and for whom
our people have an mistaken regard.

Sunday School Meetings.
X. r. r..
June 18th, 1887.

The series of Sunday School meet
Jugs recently held in Garrett county
by the Maryland Sunday School
Union, closed with Sunday School
Institute at Firm Rock on Sunday
last. The meetings were splendidly
attended, Notwithstanding the rainy
weather.
Meetings were held at the follow
ing places: charlottesville, Elkins,
Glade M. E. Church, Oak Grove,
Mason school house, Red House,
Sunny Side, Oakland and Firm Rock.
Mr.. VIM. A. Baker, the State Su-
perintendent, was prevented from
being present at any of the meetings
except at the two latter places, on
account of attendance at the Interna-
tional Sunday School Convention, at
Chicago. His friends at Oakland
were glad to see him again, and con-
sidering the gloom that bereavement
and affiiction in two of our most
prominent families had cast upon the
town. the meeting at Oakland was
largely attended. Addresses were
made here by State Superintendent
w. A. Raber, Rev. G. II. Mock, w.
D. Hoye. Rev. G. H. Lakin and Mr..
John Shartzer. Rev. J. M. Davis
presided over the meeting.
The Institute at Firm Rock was
also a success. Addresses were made
by State Superintendent Baker, Bro.
w. III. Drew, Geo. III. Mock, J. B.
Stonesifer, W. E. Bird, w. D. Hoye,
Hon. g. L. Michael and others. The
singing was conducted by Mr.. Clever
Michael. Sunday was a beautiful
day, and large crowd assembled to
enjoy the services. AT $50 prayer
service was held at 1890 sermon
was delivered by Rev. q. H. Mock
at 2:30 children's service was ad-
dressed by Revs. w. A. Baker, G.

DAVIS, w. Va.

III. S. c. does not read your attract
i've paper very closely or in the issue
of June 4, he would have noticed the
last expiring note of "Zaccheus."
But after investigating the subject
thoroughly we are impressed that
Zaccheus and H. S. G. were both en-
tangled in the same laurel thicket.
One thing we know that the use of
nom de plume is perfectly right and
proper. Why then. HI. S. c., try to
disown yours? consistency is a
jewel"
A festival was given in Ash g.
Lashley's Hall on Friday and Satur-
day evenings of last week by the
band, which was quite success. We
understand that a number of young
men were fined for misbehaviour at
the festival on Friday evening.
The excursion train on Sunday was
crowded to its utmost capacity. Da-
Wis was full of people. Over forty
persons were registered at the Black
water Hotel alone.
The dedication services of the M.
E. Church on Sunday last. made it a
red letter day for Davis. The church
was crowded to it's utmost capacity
and numbers could not get into the
church at all. An experience meet
ing at 10 O'Clock was the first service
OF the day. 1t was meeting of spir-
itual power. The regular services
began at IL A. NJ. DR.. Smith peach
ed a sermon of great power. After
the sermon DIR. Smith stated hat the
church had cost 81, 400 and of this
amount there remained tooe raised
$500. After the matter vas clearly
stated to the congregation number
of collectors waited uponGhe congre-
cation and in an incredibly short
time raised the sum of$372.93, thus
freeing the church fpm debt and
leaving a comfortable margin to
work on. The beautiful dedication
service of the church was then pro-
nounced by DIR. Smith assisted by
Reys. G. HI. Lakin, III. e. Friend and
the pastor. The congregation was
dismissed and everybody went home
happy. A meeting was held at 3 P.
NJ, by Misses Jennie Smith and Adj
die Sherman, which was we'll attend
ed and very interesting. In the eve
ming the church was again crowded
to hear an able sermon by Rev. G.
I'll. Lakin. The services were closed
by the choir singing in an impressive
manner the hymn "God be with you
till we meet again." The notes of
the day would be incomplete not to
mention the excellent music furnish
ed by the choir.

The communication which we re-
ceived from Sang Run last week, too
late for publication, has been care
fully examined, and whilst we ap-
prove the sentiments expressed if
they were taken in a general sense,
yet we are satisfied that they were
intended by the writer to apply to
certain individuals, unnamed il is
true, but incidents are so related as to
leave no doubt in our mind as to
whom the writer refers. We are sat-
isffed that the publication would do
these gentlemen injustice. We there

Business Barometer.

New YORK, June 10.-R. G.. Dun
& Co.'s weekly review of trade says
But for labor contests and excessive
speculation the outlook would be en-
tirely satisfactory. Crop prospects
and the financial situation have i'm
proved during the past week, but the
effect of important strikes are felt
more seriously every week. How
great the disturbance of trade and
production which may result from a
single strike is forcibly illustrated by
the returns of iron furnaces to the
Iron Age, making the weekly output
June LIST about 1855 tons, or q per
cent less than May 1st., while Pitts
burgh statistics, forwarded by our
correspondent, make the decrease
30,650 tons. Either statement repre-
sents the remarkable decline in the
output raging from 100000 to $780,
600 in the value of weekly produc-
ton, and to this must be added the
decrease in many important branches
of manufacture which depend for ma
terial upon furnaces now idle.
In spite of the great drain in pro-
duction, prices of iron have been
weaker during the past week, heavy
sales of Southern iron having been
made in Eastern markets.
The stove business revives, the
lockout OF the molders having termi.
mated, but the nail market Is demon
allied by oyerproduction. The de-
znand for bar iron is better, but prices
are depressed by Western COMPETE
ton. and the Offering of foreign rails
at low figures checks the demand
near seaports.
Wheat speculation seems weaker,
though prices, after rising to nearly
$1.0O for No. 2 red, have not quite
declined to last weeks level.
Money is reported in good supply
at all points. Collections everywhere
are good or fair, with an improve
ment in some localities. Southern
reports show dullness in trade. but
confidence of an early and prosperous
fall business. From Northwestern
points great activity everywhere is
reported, with especial mention of
the stimulating influence of rapid
railway building.
The stock marget has shown weak.
ness. but the appearance of general
liquidation and reported gains in
railroad earnings, averaging over 10
per cent for May thus far, sustain the
confidence of holders.

Gone

Hines suggested through deep sympathy
for the two recently bereaved widows in our
community.I
Gone!
Gone from the desolate, lonely hearthstone.
And the wife's heart is sad as the winds Bit
ter moan;
For gone is her husband, the lover she wed :
He's laid down his scepter and Death reigns
instead.
His measure of JOY and of sorrow is filled;
Her counceling God in His wisdom so willed.
Gone is the sacred of heart and of soul,
So says the sad voice and the BELLS plaintive
toll.
"Man's days are as grass''-"as a flower of the
field'-
"He is gone as a shadow declineath." Con-
cealed
Lies our brother, our friend, in the graves
silent gloom,
And his lone wife is left to weep over his tomb.
o, pity the widow who mourns for her lord;
A pain in her heart as though pierced by a
sword;
Still, on the world passes, its pity is brief,
And scant the tears it sheds-she'sa one with
her grief
